The path of not doing anything the US might disagree with just leads to more extortion of Canada anyway. They only path to get concessions from US is to withdraw from acts of sycophancy. Cancel F35s, sell existing ones, charge rent for NORAD occupation, charge aggressively for evil against Venezuela/fishing boats support. Meet escallation with more escallation.
When the only argument against demonic evil is that reality is russian bots, then bankrupting the US for war on Russia, China, AI is the only outcome that you bodysnatched minions of warmongering lizard people deserve.
How much longer should Ukraine be without power, and how many more Ukrainians should die to prevent this? How much more US social program cuts to fund an extra year of Ukrainian stalemate with 10%-20% rulership corruption skimming?
Majority of Americans don’t know that US forced this war.
fuck you bozos.
The question is whether government/people should get $60/barrel revenue before expenses, maybe $40/barrel after expenses, or $10/barrel but pump 5-10x as much, bribed to be loyal to US. Long term, obviously no corruption and high revenue/profit per barrel has its advantages. It’s not as though Exxon/Chevron can’t get access to Venezuela oil with fair deals, it’s that pretending corrupt puppets are the legitimate leaders provides extortion oil costs.
When you understand the hoops the US government is willing to jump through to get cheap foreign oil, you should understand that similar policies are used to deprive Americans of their fair share of resource revenue.
my experience is that the language is far more overtly psycho than this.
illegal drinking establishments, where mass shootings are common?
police shut down 12,000 such premises outlets between April and September this year
Why is licensing bars so difficult, and why is there such “anger” over them? Sounds almost like 1930s US prohibition, where organized crime (police???) are intimidating for protection?
It’s genuinely bad, even if entire universe isn’t affected. Shows sloppiness. Headline is too kind for implying this could be “some kind of design upgrade”, instead of FUBAR.
This is about using illegally frozen Russian assets for loan. Both US and Belgium want to keep control over the funds, and terms where Ukraine only has to repay the loan if Russia begs to pay Ukraine government to accept its reconstruction funds is guaranteed to mean that Ukraine would never have to repay. Seems like performative posturing.
great piece worth reading in full. It’s well argued but it is based on “average spending”. Some tips:
In the Snowpiercer economy, children are to be eaten, not heard. babies taste best. Savings: $2700/month.
$1200/month transportation is argument for bikes.
Big part of post is about “welfare cliffs”, and divisive hatred directed below (above?) from those who fall off the cliffs, by earning more than a magic number.
UBI/freedom dividends is an extremely important reform, not just to eliminate homelessness, but all of the cliffs that prevent incentives to work harder and keep gains from working harder. Whether freedom dividends are $12k or grow to $24k+, it should be viewed as help to everyone, and more help than existing programs that can be eliminated.
promoted as a response to President Lyndon B. Johnson’s war on poverty
US war on the poor has been consistently successful.
I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.
I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”
For sure, only pure evil motives. Establishment needs to destroy Canada to pillage it. Wrap it up in war on China and Russia. Deliver Canadian slaves to Israel and US oligarchy.
Goldberg and The Atlantic are CIA/Mossad propaganda arms. There is no doubt that in some order he is entirely devoted to US/Israel supremacism. He, in his role, is a superior to Hegseth. He leaked it just to embarass the warfighter in chief.
Hegseth is an extreme evil supremacist, but this is a distraction going nowhere.
Approach won’t work. Needs to offer partial ceasefire for new Ukrainian elections, and only new rulership can end war, instead of bribery gravy train to the last Ukrainian. New border lines won’t stop Ukrainian terrorism and retaliation. Only new government.
You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:
1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.
2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.
This is a rant about opt out not being perfect, afaiu. Firefox still provides better AI control than alternatives, in that you can choose the model, including a private one. Is this wrong?
It’s not just treason to recommend submarines for US force amplification, its treason to recommend expensive boondoggle nuclear subs.
Since 2014, US/west puppetted Ukraine has tried to exterminate ethnic minority in eastern Ukraine. Russia has engaged in peace process with Minsk accords all of that time, with West/Ukraine admitted that it was just a delay tactic to accept the accords. So, the news was there all along, you just chose evil propaganda instead.
